I first have to admit that I lightened up the dish. I poached the chicken breasts in chicken broth with herbs, seasonings and onion. I then cooked the cheese ravioli in the remaining seasoned chicken broth. I heated a jar of Ragu light parmesan alfredo sauce, and added a little of the broth to thin it out and make it go farther (less than 1/2 cup). I then layered it (without the red pepper or black olives because the kiddos won't eat them) and topped with low fat mozzerella and parmesan instead of Mexican and Ricotta. The entire family GOBBLED it up! Next time I think I'll save a small portion to make in an individual casserole for myself, so that I can have the peppers, olives, and Mexican cheese! Thanks for posting a delicious meal!

really yummy! made as written with cottage cheese and a couple tablespoons of ricotta i had in the fridge mixed in. i think this would be nice with some herbs de provence added to the sauce. rich and the leftovers disappeared!

We used 2 packs of refrigerated Trader Joe's Spinach Artichoke Ravioli, cottage cheese, and a bag of Quorn tenders to make it vegetarian. Followed the recipe directions. Cheese stuck to the cover so I had to add more cheese after uncovering before putting it back in the oven. It was a little watery, next time I may just spray the pan before cooking the veggies instead of using butter and leave out the olives (while I liked them, my family did not.) Thanks for rich, delicious, tasty meal.
